"lhis inii'ention relates to fasteners and more partirnlarly to suoli devices i'or securin g a net-lr tie to a collar.

|line oli the objects of the invention is to praiwide a single means for closing a Collar and seen ring a tie thereto.

This and other minor objects, are aecompliehed by the novel eonstrnrtinn, combination and arrangement of parte hereinafter dei-milled and illustrated in the aeeonlpanyingr drawing, in Whieh1 lilignre 1 is a partial perspeetive view oi a eonrention al collar Closed by a modified form oi" collar button embodying an element oi' this invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of a Conventional ready made bow-tie showin an appliration oi this invention.

Figure 3 is a eide elevational View of the s as engaged with each other.

.i i5 ire 4 is a plan View oi the button receiving element.

In the drawing, the numeral 1,() designates a conventional Collar eloeed by a Collar 'but1 ron consisting oi a base 11 Jfrom which rises a eylindrieal stern 12 at the top oi which is a head 13 provided With a small semi-globular element 141-'.

lin ordinary ready made tie 15 has seWed to the back oi the knot thereoii. through openinge 16, a plate 1T having a short stern 18 provided f-.vith a eirenlar head 1,9 havin an opening to reeeive the globular member 111A of the head 13.

The member 14 is held therein by a pair of 435 spaced spring Wires 21 arranged in parallel and eeeured to the back of the head 19.

Thus, to put the tie 15 in place on the collar 10, it merely necessary to snap the head 19, through the opening 20,-onto the semi-globnlar member 14, the Wires 21 keeping the same in proper position until the fasteners are pulled apart.

Ihre; it may be seen that a simple and novel tie inetener has been disclosed in'eombination 45 with a modified form of collar button.

Although the foregoing constitutes the preferred form of my. invention, the same may obviously be slightly changed Without departing from the spirit of the appended claim. i Having thus described my invention, what I claim ae new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is Y A neel i rie fastener comprising a collar bnt ton having aeonvex face and a semi-globular head project-ing therefrom, a reduced nee/k intervening, an elliptical metal plate adapted to be attached to a rear of the tie.A a hollow cap carried by said plate` said cap having an opening to receive said head, and a pair of l 'aprilie Wires eontainedw'ithin said cap to enn gage said head.

In Witness Whereo't I have'affized my signature.

WILLIAM RICHARDS.
